Joey Russ 7,118 Posted January 30, 2018 I got to say, I do have to feel bad for drol right now. Four hits before the end of January is no way to go in the Hare’s Pool... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She gets me off the mark but it is not sure how many points I will get. Date of death seems a bit up in the air. She may have gone weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She may have gone weeks ago. As she was in a nursing home, I think YTV will probably have been notified pretty promptly. At the moment, you are getting date of notification points, but that may change if a firmer date is nailed down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,948 Posted February 10, 2018 Two teams have joined the race with 8 teams still in the changing room, pulling up their socks. Top two have lost a fifth of their teams already. Lots of jostling below. At this rate, one hit for me in August and I'll win this thing.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 10,029 Posted February 15, 2018 6th hit with Tsvangirai. All ok till my joker still breathes. And he's not José José as most of you are thinking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 18,948 Posted February 15, 2018 6 hits by now equals 1 hit at the beginning of May. Yikes! Anyway, any hit is a hit and points. Just too early to sail into leads.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,948 Posted February 24, 2018 We now have a full leaderboard with everyone named. drol still acting as pacemaker, nip and tuck between him and msc. As a result mainly of Billy Graham's demise, 5 more teams have jumped out of the bleachers and on to the racetrack. Meantime, it must be something about gamerunners, as Deathray and yours truly decide that a smoke and watching the entire run of Game of Thrones with Pedro67 in the common room is preferable to being out and about on a track. In this weather? Are you guys crazy? Anyway, the March Hares are revving their engines...how will this affect the next leaderboard in a fortnight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 18,948 Posted February 27, 2018 Sufficient QO material for this pool as Lewis Gilbert directs one team up the leaderboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,712 Posted March 1, 2018 27 minutes ago, YoungWillz said: Vanessa Lafaye writes not so much a book but a short story of points for two teams. So, I discovered her as a potential pick in November, and thought "Hmm, unique?" Then you named her on the forum, so she went off my DDP team. Then I put her back on it as my gut feeling was telling me her outlook was grim. Then I dropped her due to the super drug (Superdrug?) she was using which held her illness at bay. However, I thought "maybe I was right and it tails off at the end of the year" so picked in this just in case. Then I find out in mid-Feb her superdrug has stopped working entirely, so add her to the Cup team, only for her to die on the 28th, thus being too early for the Hares and the Cup. Nae luck at all. Her, I mean, not me. RIP. Although, I think the above is likely a lesson in not second guessing your own instincts or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
